PROcess — Gabriel Ba

I wonder why it seems that Latin American comics artists (Gabriel Ba, Eduardo Risso...) do the coolest most stylized stuff?

PROcess — Aussie Illustrator, Paul Grant

Paul Grant is a cool, R. Crumb influenced illustrator and cartoonist. He's very prolific. You can see his comic BLUE in it's entirety, here. His site is here. His BLOG also has some cool stuff, including this epic case-study of how he approaches an assignment ... inluding sketches, influences, inks, brushes, Photoshop techniques, etc. etc. Pretty cool.

PROcess — Emily Carroll, Illustrator

Emily Carroll is an illustrator / comics artist living in Vancouver, BC (British Columbia, not "before Christ"). Her elegant, whimsical style results from her wonderful drawing and the skillful combination of traditional and digital mediums. Excerpeted from her website:

A Little Bit About My Process: I work primarily in Photoshop (for an example of the custom brushes I use, please see this sampling), but all of my comics are inked first on smooth bristol, mostly with a nib and a bit of drybrushing thrown in, and then scanned and coloured on the computer. I use custom textures I’ve scanned in myself, typically ink washes on smooth illustration board (example), and apply them in Photoshop to try to give the digital colour more of an organic feel.
